Sent Stacey off last night, together with Audrey, Michelle, Wen Jun and, of cuz, Steph. She was the only one I managed to send off personally. Feels weird to have so many close friends gone and not see them until they return during their vacation. Stacey in Imperial College, London; Hui-Min in UCL, London; Lanfang in Peking Uni, Beijing; Yu-Yin in Zhongshan Uni, Taichung...
I once considered going Taiwan for university, and I did almost apply. But I missed the application deadline, and fell in love with NTU/SCI/CS at that time. So here I am!
I am glad to be where I am. I am glad for what I have gotten from uni so far, even though there's a lot I'm not happy about. Bidding farewell to one person is this sad. Imagine bidding farewell to everyone, everything, all that you have, to go somewhere where you have basically nothing except an university placement. I almost wanted to take that step of courage, right out of my comfort zone [and straight into discomfort probably].
Since I'm here where I am, I might as well make full use of my time and opportunities. I came up with some uni resolutions, suddenly inspired.
1) First-Class Honours, if not Second Upper at the very least. [Not easy, but a must-have target.]
2) Courage to step out of Singapore for Professional Internship, although I am very glad to return to my boss-by-bond.
3) Go Taiwan for exchange in National Chengchi University, and explore more of Taiwan!
4) Maintain the basic passion for Math. [Very hard.] -.- I am convincing myself I have nothing to fear among all the Math majors in MAS111 cuz I could have been majoring in Math if I wanted to. XP
5) Serve Chron well. Make a positive impact. Establish more contacts. Improve readership.
6) Contribute to Impresario 09 subcomm well. Courage and ability to join Impresario someday. [Also very hard.]
7) Attempt DJ-ing. Introduce good music. Talk well.
8) Learn guitar, before it rots in the corner of my room.
9) Maintain positive bank balance.
10) Lose weight. [Extremely hard.] Using 'saving money' as a motivation might work.
I am 20kg heavier than Michelle. OMG. Michelle is too light. =P
I wanted to go on a no-lunch diet, but that's quite unhealthy, no? Aiya, I cannot tahan that actually. I shall attempt a less-meat, no-fried-stuff-a.k.a.-old-chang-kee, no-soft-drink, no-excessive-sugar diet. Spite me, tell me I'm very fat and need to lose weight! [It won't help; it might piss me off, but maybe not. XP]
Yesterday afternoon was fun too. Sie Yen and I went to support Jing Ting, Cai Yun and Hui Foon for Radio 1003 Fight Club Open Audition 2 at Northpoint. It seems so scary to go up on stage and do just a 1-min self-introduction followed by 1-min Q&A, yet it didn't seem that hard. Tempted to try, but still no courage. Someday, perhaps. I've set this as one of the things to try, so...someday. Jing Ting and Hui Foon got selected for semi-finals, which will be held at the same venue next Sunday. Shall go down to support then! Do go online to OMY.sg to vote for them! I'll post the link when I find it.
